The Birds in Your Garden

It’s always encouraging to hear bird song during the winter months as a reminder that spring is on its way, but as the main purposes of singing are to attract a mate and defend a territory, there is little rea- son for them to sing now. Bird-song is a very specialised form of call that, unlike all the quacks, honks and tweets we hear throughout the rest of the year, serves one function only – to boost the breeding success of the singer, to indicate clearly that he is healthy; fit and ready to breed.

At this time of year, you might hear Blackbirds quietly "singing to themselves" in the undergrowth, this is called a “sub-song” and it almost seems as if they are practicing for later. I’m told Song Thrushes do the same, but they’re pretty rare around here, (apart from on the golf course!) so I’m never quite sure.

According to H.G.Alexander in British Birds, “A Thrush sings from late November VILLAGE PHARMACY onwards but with much greater vigour after about the middle of January. The Blackbird is rarely heard singing until February, and its best song is hardly heard Collingham Tel:572388 till April or May.” Maybe that’s because, as some studies have shown, the earliest Sara L Pilcher MRPharmS birds to sing are first year cocks. The older birds don’t start singing until later.
